Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

I sold my car to a young man about a year ago. We went to the tax office to get the title transferred to his name, however he needed to show proof of insurance. He was going to get the information from his mom since she was caring him. I had not heard anything from him since last week saying he had not received notificaton for his registration because the vehicle was still in my name. He had to spend $2000 for a new motor and his mom is saying I need to reimburse him. Is this true or can she win in court if she sues me even if she carried him on her insurance?

If he had to purchase a new motor because it was defective when you sold it to him, he may have a claim against you.

If he had to purchase a new motor because the car was later damaged in an accident, he has no claim against you. You did not damage the motor, someone else did.
